lyrics

I did my best
But I came up short
She asked me what time it was
I answered “just about four”
She said “you going out”
I said “I don’t know”
She looked disgusted
But that’s just the way it goes

Chorus
It feels like I’m moving awfully slow these days
So don’t bother to wait just go on your way
And I’ll catch up or either stay behind
Don’t let my plans worry your mind

My ambition is suited
To a non-industrial epoch
My desire to succeed
Is based on a subjective metric
My career goals are a little patch of sun
Or maybe that little bit of shade

Chorus

Pass me on the freeway
What do I care about that
My car is slow
But it’s good on gas
I’ll get to where I’m going
Or maybe change my mind
And make a detour
Whatever happens gonna be fine

Chorus

I did my best
But I came up short
She asked me what time it was
I answered “just about four”
She said “you going out”
I said “I don’t know”
She looked disgusted
But that’s just the way it goes

about

Charlie Parr image

Charlie Parr Duluth, Minnesota

"Parr is scruffy and uncomfortable looking, with a longish beard and balding head. He dropped out of high school in the 1980s, but he looks older than that. He's pathologically deadpan in his delivery of in between song banter. The crowd really enjoyed his depressingly hilarious dead cat story. He never smiles." - Lucy Steigerwald
